Derby County defender Max Lowe has said he hopes to “become a man” during his loan spell with Shrewsbury Town.

The highly-rated left-back, who is the reigning young player of the year at Derby, joined the League One promotion hopefuls on a deal until the end of the season.

Lowe has already played for the Shrews against West Ham United in the FA Cup, featured in the Checkatrade Trophy and also against Blackburn Rovers.

Here’s what he told the Shropshire Star:

I’m at that age where I should be a man already, or turning into a man – so that’s what I need to be doing. I’ve got to get many games under my belt and I am looking forward to every game I play in. I want the shirt and I want to keep it for the whole season.”

Joe Ledley injury update

Joe Ledley is expected to be back in the first-team squad when Derby County return to Championship action at Millwall on January 30.

The Welsh international midfielder has sat out the last five matches due to a back problem.

He trained on Thursday and Friday, but he was not involved in Friday night’s goalless draw against Bristol City at Pride Park Stadium.

Here’s what Gary Rowett said:

He trained for two days, two light sessions, and I had a debate over whether or not to put him on the bench but just felt if he had to come on after five minutes through an injury would he get through the game or would it be a risk with the back injury he has had.”

Marco Silva joined Watford in the summer from relegated Hull City, and started the season strongly, but has fallen off in recent weeks.

He was linked to the Everton job, but Watford rebuffed any approach. Silva has been dismissed today.

Hughes, who joined Watford from Derby in the summer, had to bide his time under Silva, but impressed before the turn of the year.

A Watford statement read:

Watford Football Club has parted company with Marco Silva. This has been a difficult decision and one not taken lightly. The Club is convinced the appointment of Silva was the right one and had it not been for the unwarranted approach by a Premier League rival for his services we would have continued to prosper under his leadership. The catalyst for this decision is that unwarranted approach, something which the Board believes has seen a significant deterioration in both focus and results to the point where the long-term future of Watford FC has been jeopardised. For the security and success of the football club, the Board believes it has to make a change. The Club will seek to make a swift appointment and there will be no further comment until that appointment has been made.”

Powell, who was Nigel Pearson’s assistant at Derby, made 290 appearances for Southend.

He has previously managed Charlton Athletic and Huddersfield Town.
